Why Does This Score Highly Processed?
In our analysis, Hummus scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Chemical Preservatives (Potassium Sorbate (Added To Maintain Freshness)): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Guar Gum, Xanthan Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
Within Dips & Salsa, this product is more processed than about 47% of the 6,665 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
